I-Thunderbird Community Forum

My @googlemail.com account has been working in Thunderbird for years. Two days ago it stopped. No incoming e-mails and attempts to send e-mails from Thunderbird result in the outgoing server timing out. I can access direct at gmail.

Please note that my previous e-mail: alan.rhodes@talktalk.net is no longer available The replacement: alan-rhodes@outlook.com has been blocked by MS-AI (It didn't like a circulation e-mail to 60 members of my local history group) The only working e-mail I have is the current problem one: rhodes.alan1@googlemail.com

When I try to send a email from my secondary account I get the following error: A unique identity matching the from address was not found. Message will be sent using the current From field and settings Identity. In other words my main account sends a message to my secondary account. When I try to use secondary account I get the error message. The secondary account does not work now.

I use emojis in email, but recipients report that the text of the email arrives covered with emojis. I thought it was a problem with the receiver until a second person just reported the same issue with an email I sent them. Both are gmail accounts . . .

In the last couple days, I am not receiving messages in my email account inbox (att.net/yahoo). Messages are going directly to the local inbox folder. Windows 10.

When I search for new emails in the local folder, they are tagged with a gold diamond, and my option is to "Move to inbox again," which does move the messages back to the main inbox. But, "again" implies that the message arrived in the account folder, but got automatically passed to local folder. On or two occasions, I noticed an very fast dowloading to the inbox, which disappears immediately.

And, I get no response in my email account when hitting F5. F5 works for the local folder, and other accounts, and Shift-F5 (getting messages for all accounts) updates the others, but not my main email account.

The issue is not with att.net/yahoo. I have checked all my settings and server settings in Thunderbird, done the folder repairs several times, closed and reopened Thunderbird many times, deleted Inbox.MSF, etc., but nothing works. The issue seems to be specific to Thunderbird. Any ideas?
